Submission: http://electroluxdesignlab.com/2014/submission/pecera/
Pecera is a collection of robot fish called Dofi, cleaning your clothes in a water tank without detergent.
This sustainable way of washing clothes is inspired by doctor fish who nurture human skin, except
these busy fishes run on hydroelectric power and clean garments. The robotic fish detects the dirt in
the clothes by using the tiny camera in each fish. The cleaning is made by a suction motion by the
robot fish against the dirt particles. Washing without detergent makes this washing method suitable
for the most sensitive and creates no need for multiple washing circles using water. The first layer
spin-dries and drains off the water from clothes.

Submission: http://electroluxdesignlab.com/2014/submission/vibrate-jelly-laundry/
The Vibrate Jelly machine is a dry cleaning machine in your own home using the adhesive property of
jell consistency to clean dirty clothes. The machine cleans clothes without need to use water or
detergent, nor does the garment need to be dried. The concept uses the adhesive property of jelly like
consistency to clean dirty clothes by vibration and smoothing wrinkles with sound waves. The dust is
gathered to a dust container in the middle of the concept, which then can be emptied.

30. Luna
Country: Colombia
Designer: Juan Camilo Restrepo Villamizar
University: Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Colombia
Submission: http://electroluxdesignlab.com/2014/submission/luna/
Luna transforms your laundry basket into a washing machine, reducing the consumption of water and
energy, optimizing time and reducing the effort required in washing and fabric care. It is a tiny
washing machine you drop into your laundry basket and it cleans your clothes by electrostatic magnet
that attracts and collects all dirt particles. The metallic sphere loads within a little dose of water
creating a steamy cloud of electrostatically charged fine particles, which come out through pores of
the metal surface, wrapping and permeating all the tissues sucked towards the core of the sphere.
After the cleaning process Luna dries the laundry with hot air.

Submission: http://electroluxdesignlab.com/2014/submission/pete/
The PETE concept merges plastic bottles and creates garments from them according to your taste.
The consumer only has to choose the required clothing type, colour and cutting, while the machine
gives the amount of PET bottles needed for the fabrication and turns the bottles into polyester and
prints the garments. This method creates a natural recycling method for plastic bottles and turns the
consumer into an eco-designer.
